GPS on mobile devices is getting more popular, and HP will even be including integrated GPS in its upcoming Mobile Messenger devices. Power users may desire to use multiple applications with the same GPS receiver, and there is a utility out there called Franson GpsGate that allows you to set up virtual serial ports to use several applications with a single GPS. I would like to see how this works with my Pharos Bluetooth GPS since that is my preferred GPS receiver. I couldn't find any mention of Bluetooth on the site, but I think it is just another serial port that is used as well. GpsGate also includes an integrated logger so you can log GPS data while using your favorite mapping or navigation program. The software works on Windows PCs and is available for US$29.95. There is a light version, which is limited to two applications and which doesn't include GpsGate software, available for US$14.95, and you can always try a free 14-day trial of either version. Thanks to Johan for the news.
